Answer 1

Answer:

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a novel from the gothic genre that was written by Robert Louis Stevenson, and which was published in 1886. The story narrates the events around the life of Dr. Jekyll and the different characters that start witnessing the strange changes that take place in the good kind doctor, and the appearance of a malevolent presence, called Mr. Hyde.

The question that you have here is part of chapter 3, and although the question is a summarization of the entire chapter, the answers taken from the text itself, would be as follows:

A fortnight (two weeks) later, Jekyll has a dinner party. Utterson remains behind so he can speak to Jekyll about why he is worried about Jekyll´s will; he tells Jekyll that he can be trusted and urges Jekyll to tell him if he is being blackmailed. Jekyll tells him that it isn´t blackmail and that he can get rid of Hyde at any time he wishes. He asks Utterson to drop the matter and make sure that he will help Hyde get what is in the will - i.e., everything Jekyll owns- if he, Jekyll, is taken away or is no longer there.

Some of these words used to fill in the blanks are synonymous to the original ones used in the actual chapter, but when taken into the exercise, they give you the summary of what happened in the chapter itself.
